A flap actuation mechanism incorporates a coupler rod eccentrically supported at an aft end and at a forward end. The coupler rod is configured to translate from an aft position to a forward position. An inboard crank arm is coupled to the rotary actuator and engaged to the aft end of the coupler rod. The inboard crank is configured rotate responsive to rotation of the rotary actuator thereby inducing translation of the coupler rod. An outboard crank arm engaged to a forward end of the coupler rod and is configured to rotate responsive to translation of the coupler rod. A flap drive arm is attached to the outboard crank arm and is configured to rotate with the outboard crank arm from a stowed position to a deployed position responsive to translation of the coupler rod from the aft position to the forward position.
